Aticare Dermocollar 35 cm 14 g

Aticare Dermocollar 35 cm 14 g is an innovative anti-parasitic collar specifically designed to protect small dogs from the main external parasites, including fleas, ticks and lice. Thanks to its exclusive gradual release formula, it offers continuous and prolonged protection for up to 4 months. The design of the collar is designed to adapt easily to the dog's neck, making it comfortable and light and, at the same time, resistant even in the presence of water and humidity. Easy to apply and without unpleasant odors, Aticare Dermocollar works without the need to take tablets or apply liquid products to the skin. It is indicated as a preventive and curative solution to keep the skin and fur free from infestations, helping the general well-being of the animal and reducing the risk of transmission of diseases carried by parasites.

The collar works through the controlled release of the active ingredient which is distributed uniformly on the animal's skin surface, offering an effective and constant barrier against parasites. The presence of specific skin-compatible components helps preserve skin health by minimizing the risks of allergies or irritation, even in the most sensitive subjects. Aticare Dermocollar therefore stands out for its effectiveness, ease of use and high tolerability.

By regularly applying Aticare Dermocollar 35 cm 14 g, it is possible to prevent and control recurrent infestations, keeping the animal protected in a discreet and continuous way, even during periods of greater exposure to parasites such as spring and summer.

Therapeutic Indications

Aticare Dermocollar 35 cm 14 g is indicated primarily for the prevention and treatment of flea (Ctenocephalides felis), tick (Rhipicephalus sanguineus, Ixodes ricinus and others) and lice infestations in small dogs. The collar provides long-lasting protection for up to 4 months against adult fleas and up to 3 months against the main species of ticks, preventing re-infestation of the animal and thus contributing to the environmental control of parasites that infest the house or places frequented by the animal.

The preventive action is also ideal for subjects who live in close contact with other animals, for puppies and for dogs that frequent public areas, kennels, or are exposed to areas with a high parasitic risk. It can be used as a complement in the management of subjects suffering from flea allergy dermatitis (FAD), reducing the incidence of skin symptoms caused by parasite bites. Thanks to the slow and controlled release of the active ingredient, the product allows uniform coverage and constant protection, thus mitigating the risk of transmission of pathologies such as babesiosis, ehrlichiosis or Lyme disease which can be transmitted by the bites of infected ticks.

Regular and continuous use increases the effectiveness of anti-parasitic prophylaxis and the animal's well-being, being a practical and discreet choice for long-term protection.

Composition

Active ingredient: Aticare Dermocollar contains plant extracts and substances with a repulsive and protective action, selected to guarantee extensive protection against the most common external parasites of dogs. The composition includes a combination of natural essential oils and clinically tested skin-compatible active ingredients, effective in combating the presence of fleas, ticks and other ectoparasites without the addition of potentially irritating ingredients for the sensitive skin of small animals.

Other components include emollient and hydrating agents which help keep the skin elastic and the fur shiny, also promoting regular distribution of the active ingredient in contact with the skin. The plastic material of the collar was chosen to guarantee safety, tolerability, water resistance and elasticity, so as to allow normal freedom of movement in dogs of all ages.

The composition is designed for controlled release, avoiding overdoses and maintaining the concentration of the active ingredient constant throughout the entire period of use.

Contraindications

Do not use Aticare Dermocollar 35 cm 14 g on dogs with proven hypersensitivity or allergy to one or more of the components of the collar, in particular essential oils or other active ingredients contained in the formulation. Avoid use on subjects with extensive skin lesions or inflammatory dermatitis in the acute phase, as prolonged contact with the collar could worsen pre-existing conditions or slow down wound healing. The product is not intended for use on dogs weighing less than 2 kg, puppies less than 8 weeks of age, or on debilitated animals without veterinary advice.

Do not use in association with other topical pesticides without the prior advice of your veterinary surgeon, to avoid possible interaction reactions between different active substances. If signs of intolerance appear (itching, redness, localized hair loss), remove the collar and consult your vet. Do not use the collar on animals intended for breeding without prior specialist evaluation.

Safety of the drug for the species

Aticare Dermocollar 35 cm 14 g has been designed to maximize safety of use in small dogs. The active ingredients are selected on the basis of their proven antiparasitic efficacy and to minimize irritative or allergenic potential. Reported side effects are rare and usually reversible with removal of the collar. Safety studies have confirmed that the collar does not interfere with the animal's normal vital functions nor with the quality of sleep, physical activity or daily hygiene such as swimming or washing the dog.

It is important to regularly monitor the application site in the first few days of use, especially in individuals with a history of skin sensitivity. In cases of accidental ingestion, mild gastrointestinal symptoms may occur: in such situations, it is advisable to contact the veterinarian immediately. Use appropriately and according to instructions minimizes the risk of systemic or local side effects. The product is not transferred to third parties during normal animal care practices, making it safe even for adults and children who live in close contact with the treated dog.

Precautions

Apply Aticare Dermocollar 35 cm 14 g only on small dogs and make sure to adjust the length of the collar so as not to hinder the animal's breathing or movements. Check that there is enough space between the collar and the neck to fit two fingers, to ensure the dog's comfort. Check skin tolerance periodically, especially in the first few days of application or if the dog is prone to allergic reactions. If irritation, persistent redness or intense itching appears, remove the collar promptly and consult your vet. If the collar gets wet (for example during bathing or rain), its effectiveness is not compromised, but it is recommended to dry it to avoid discomfort for the animal.

Keep the collar out of the reach of children, both before and after application. Avoid letting your dog play with or bite the collar, as ingestion may cause gastrointestinal discomfort or other side effects. Wash your hands thoroughly after placing the collar and do not touch your eyes or mouth before washing. At the end of the period of use, dispose of the collar in accordance with local directives on parapharmaceutical items.

Method of administration

Remove Aticare Dermocollar 35 cm 14 g from the package and unroll the collar completely. Place it around the dog's neck, adjusting the length so that there is about two fingers of space between the collar and the dog's skin. Cut the excess part of the collar with scissors to prevent the dog from biting it or getting caught during games. The collar must be worn continuously to ensure optimal protection and must not be removed except in cases of necessity (for example for bathing if the dog must be washed with specific shampoos which could interfere with the protective formulation).

Regularly check that the collar is in good condition and that the size remains suitable for the growth of the animal, especially in the first months of life. Replace the collar after 4 months or in any case at the end of the period indicated by the manufacturer to guarantee continuity in anti-parasitic protection.

Treatment program

Aticare Dermocollar 35 cm 14 g should be applied once every 4 months, thus guaranteeing continuous protection during the seasons with a greater risk of parasitic infestation. In case of serious or persistent infestations, it is recommended to combine the use of the collar with the cleansing and disinfection of the environments frequented by the dog, such as kennels, blankets and carpets, in order to effectively interrupt the life cycle of the parasites. In subjects who live in areas with a high density of ectoparasites or in the presence of multiple animals living together, it may be useful to adopt strategies integrated with other antiparasitic measures as recommended by the veterinarian.

The effectiveness of the collar is not compromised in the case of short baths or daily exposure to water, however its use must be continuous to ensure correct protection. It is recommended to start treatment when the first parasites appear or at the beginning of the spring season, in order to prevent massive infestations.

For the control of occasional or recurrent episodes of allergic dermatitis caused by parasite bites, the use of the collar proves particularly effective if started promptly and maintained regularly depending on the severity and frequency of relapses.
